Now I am attempting to use Chang Chen's book but I thing his template is an A4 book rather than the one I am doing. 'Create Book Covers with Scribus'. Scribus is an open source, free desktop publishing program. Like many other computer programs, it has templates from which you can make your own documents more easily than from scratch. Scribus has about 40 templates built in, categorized under Brochures, Business Cards, Cards, Newsletters, Packaging, PDF Presentations, and Posters.
I'm preparing a textbook; mostly text, with some illustrations, and I'm considering Scribus. Does anyone have any suggestions on using Scribus for book-length material, or know where can I find appropriate templates?
